fondo Posted March 9, 2007 Share Posted March 9, 2007 Anyone ever pushed the envolope and seen what kinda incline a stock (or nonstock) pathy can take. Is there a factory spec on angles achieved. Of coarse I mean having the rig perpendicular to the incline (not straight up and down). I know I have been pretty close to a roll over (so I think) and was pretty impressed. I know there are a lot of factors involved in this measurement, but just a general angle would be nice to know and maybe some examples... sly Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Pavelow Leaks Posted March 9, 2007 Share Posted March 9, 2007 that was pretty close to tipping over... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
94extreme Posted March 9, 2007 Share Posted March 9, 2007 well over 45D.. maybe 55 or something like that. btw. not steep but off camber. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GrimGreg Posted March 9, 2007 Share Posted March 9, 2007 About the same as PL's but in snow: Closest I ever got to a roll. I have climbed up stuff that was about 70deg, felt like worse than it was. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Slick Posted March 9, 2007 Share Posted March 9, 2007 i say you get one of dem dare little meters that shows angle degrees, go out, slap that puppy off camber and let us know at what angle she rolls j/k impressively enuff, pathy's can lean over a long way before feeling unstable..... but i prefer NOT to be the first to roll 'er over..... however. ask jeep rescue about rolling over sssh Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
KILLVOX Posted March 9, 2007 Share Posted March 9, 2007 90% is a little toooooo far Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sammyb33 Posted March 9, 2007 Share Posted March 9, 2007 awe....poor cuong's pathy....(i think thats how you spell his name...) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
NismoSkyZ Posted March 9, 2007 Share Posted March 9, 2007 I know that the r50 rolls sideways at 37 degrees stock. As far as incline and decline, it's pretty hard to flip unless you drive down a wall or go off camber . Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
milehighcowboy Posted March 9, 2007 Share Posted March 9, 2007 can we define camber. i was going to be posting about this same thing here in a little while i am making a little thing that would show the derees from zero i am at while wheeling and what not.

Pavelow Leaks Posted March 9, 2007 Share Posted March 9, 2007 tis called a clinometer, or inclinometer. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mws Posted March 9, 2007 Share Posted March 9, 2007 If you figured out a way to make new overlays for this puppy: http://www.autobarn.net/xxx79100series.html I for one would be willing to buy one... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

GrimGreg Posted March 9, 2007 Share Posted March 9, 2007 (edited) What about this one?http://www.autobarn.net/roll-pitch-meter-xxxwolrp300.html Gotta have that wood grain sly I have one similar to those, but it is kind of limited on how many degrees it will read. I also have a stock Toyota one and it is limited too. I have seen a lot of people using these Lev-O-Gauge .

mws Posted March 9, 2007 Share Posted March 9, 2007 Duhhhh.... I never thought about that! Even after staring at them for hours while racing! I bet we have a couple laying around somewhere.... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
zonianbrat Posted March 10, 2007 Share Posted March 10, 2007 I rolled mine on it's side but I was doing like 25 sideways when it happened. It would not have happened if my rear tire did not blow, causing the rim to dig in to the dirt and send her over. Got her winched back over, tire changed, let it sit so fluid would run back to where it was supposed to be then started her up and drove her 3 hours in a blizzard with no drivers side window yeah it sucked real bad.

TrailChaser Posted March 10, 2007 Share Posted March 10, 2007 Mine will go to 40degs easy, but feels really tippy at 45. I've got a inclinometer that shows up to 45degs. I've had it passed the 45 mark but had a couple of guys holding the roof to get thru a washed out obstacle. The trail was fine a couple of weeks before then 2inches of rain changed all that. You also have to factor in the pitch while off camber. It feels alot more unstable when going down a steep hill off camber than it does going up the same hill. It's fun to scare the crap out of people riding with you when you can see your gauge(they can't) and get it real close to flopping just for effect. Other than that little trick I'd say inclinometers are not necessary equipment because you kinda instinctively know how far you can push it. That little gauge is the last thing I look at while wheeling in a risky situation. I only check sometimes for reference when the thought hits me.

GrimGreg Posted March 10, 2007 Share Posted March 10, 2007 Yeah, they aren't much use unless you are at a complete stop. Otherwise they are bouncing all over. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
94extreme Posted March 10, 2007 Share Posted March 10, 2007 you can peg all and any of those stock and maybe even lifted. i know fo shizzle the Xterras pegged them when we went wheeling a couple of times. the tipping point in off camber is over 45d. i guaranteeeee Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
